    <p>I have project that is a WCF service (.svc) that looks like the following:</p> <pre><code>[ServiceContract] public interface IAdminQueries { [OperationContract] List&lt;Color&gt; GetColors(); [OperationContract] List&lt;PhoneType&gt; GetPhoneTypes(); ... </code></pre> <p>I have another project that is a Web Application. I add a Service Reference to the above Service. Click the Advanced button and select Generic.List from the Collection Type. All seems as it should be.</p> <p>I then build and get errors with the code below:</p> <pre><code> AdminQueriesClient db = new AdminQueriesClient(); List&lt;Color&gt; s = db.GetColors(); </code></pre> <p>Here is the error:</p> <pre><code> Cannot implicitly convert type 'DogLicenseBO.DogLicenseServiceReference.Color[]' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List&lt;DogLicenseBO.DogLicenseServiceReference.Color&gt;' </code></pre> <p>Is something blocking or overriding the normal serialization/deserialization process?</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> I have it working again. However, I think I need what I took out though.</p> <p><em>The Fix</em> This all started because I have to convert a VS 2012 project to VS 2010. Lots a great features I was using but have to downgrade. Anyway, one of the References in VS 2012 is Newtonsoft.Json. I am using that in a couple of places. When I took that out in VS 2010 and rebuilt, everything worked. Now I need more testing to see what I can use for the Json serialization instead of Newtonsoft.</p> <p>Any suggestions?</p>

    1. COYou need to remove your edit and ask a *new* question with your new question as you are not likely to get an answer to what you have edited your question to include and you don't want to lose the context of the original problem. http://stackoverflow.com/faq#howtoask

    2. COThanks @QuintinRobinson, good point. It's working now that Newtonsoft is out of it and hopefully when I can get back on that project, I will not have to worry about it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
